Selecting finalists and ultimate winners was a rigorous process that took over four months to complete. The ceremony celebrates deals, teams and firms that strived for innovation and excellence in their work.

The Deals of the Year categories considered each deal's innovative aspects and unique ability to challenge legal structures. Youku and Tudou's merger via stock swap beat off Dalian Wanda's acquisition of AMC, PepsiCo's strategic alliance with Tingyi, Alibaba's privitisation and Joy Global's acquisition of IMM for the M&A Deal of the Year.

Two of the country's leading domestic organisations took home the In-house Team of the Year Awards: Sinopec and ICBC. Both the domestic outfits had a successful year: Sinopec, with its acquisition in Brazil and ICBC, with its oil-backed financing in Venezuela.
